According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Lucas Hernandez has suffered a serious injury and will be absent from the football field for over six months. Romano shared the brief information on Twitter, stating that Hernandez has torn his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and will require a recovery period of 6-7 months. This means that the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defender’s season has come to an end, and he will not be able to participate in the French national team for Euro 2024. Romano added, “Wishing him a speedy recovery.”
Hernandez has been a key player for PSG this season, having played nearly 2000 minutes in Ligue 1. However, in the match against Dortmund, he had to leave the field early in the 42nd minute due to the injury.
This is a significant loss for PSG in the second leg of the match, as they suffered a 0-1 defeat against their German opponents.
With this injury, it is likely that the French club will seek a younger defender in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Leny Yoro, a defender from Lille, is one of the promising players in Ligue 1. According to AS, Chelsea is currently negotiating to sign Yoro, along with other teams like Real Madrid and PSG. This could be a worthwhile investment for coach Luis Enrique in the near future.
